Thank You Rob. I think you're right though. Its time for a change. :)

I apologize to the board if I'm derailing this Seinfeld thread. I would like to add something of my own, but since I've never seen a single episode of Seinfeld, I have nothing to add.

Great photo Wonka!

Love Bookman, the library cop.

This thread is like a really bad combover...it pains to me to look at it...but amusing none the less... I wonder if there is a new member that just joined clicked on this thread as the first read...lol.

Here is my contribution since I don't have a Forbes top 100 collection...

Bania: Why do they call it Ovaltine? The mug is round..the jar is round..they should call it Roundtine....that's gold Jerry..gold!

Btw..now if I buy cards again from Leon or Barry I will be thinking if they are packing my cards while wearing those outfits...:eek:

Jerry- I'm glad Rob answered that one because I would have missed it. I remembered Pete, and that's it. That wasn't a favorite episode of mine.

"I looked into the eye of the big fish."
"Mammal."
"Whatever."

"And I pulled this out."
"Is it a Titleist?"
George nods head.
"Hole in one!"

Joe- a lot of time went into that closing segment. I heard the writers stayed up all night getting every word perfect. It's a classic moment.

Favorite episode......Soup Nazi........Lev Kasem(sp?)....he was at the last National in Anaheim signing ladles for $25. One of the big regrets of my life that I didn't get him to sign one (oh, and that first wife of mine).....

Favorite scene.....at Joe Mayo's party, upon arrival, with Putty wearing the reddish looking fur coat, Elaine turns to Jerry and says 'I believe you know Dr. Zeus'......that one sent me off the deep end the first time I watched it.....

re" response
 

I nominate ARCHIVE as the best collection on net54 top 100

What was the name of the episode where Kramer was mistaken for being mentally impaired because he was wearing big sneakers (designed by Jimmy I think) and couldn't speak clearly because his mouth was numb, having been to the dentist? That one cracked me up.

"The Jimmy" of course.

Thanks Jeff
 

Good to see you're on the case.

Jimmy holds grudges

Bruce
 

I will take your bet...I assume you know that Archive has posted most of your pictures from your collection and not you...You owe me tens of thousands of dollars!!

Another veiled attempt to acquire more material...I cannot wait for your obligatory, "Because you kept this thread alive, I was able to complete 6 more transactions for impressive material" garbage. I know you have a great collection but if I added up all the times you said that, you would need a warehouse for your collection.

I am also saddened that you have not insulted anyone's education yet.

I would cut you some slack if you actually posted some pictures of things that people have requested. I would love to see a Federal League program myself.

And, just to keep this thread on track...my favorite episode has to be "Jambalaya!"

Joshua

Top one-hundred threads!
 

My wife refuses to let me watch these any longer. She calls me rainman... Apparently, I blurt out too many of the lines. If she saw these posts... Well, I don't need to tell you what would happen.

Absolutely brilliant writing and every episode has at least one iconic line. "I'm George, I'm unemployed and live with my parents." -"Im Victoria, Hiiii"



Silvio; "Yes, you are right. It's all about, me, me, me. Please, look at me! I am so pretty! Love me, Want me, shower me with kisses mua mua mua."

Great line: "Maybe the dingo ate your baby..."

If this isn't one of the best Seinfeld exchanges, I don't know what is:

RAY: Your friend is crazy.

GEORGE: Oh, I'm crazy!

JERRY: (Still pleading) George, george..

RAY: I've got to get going. I have a class.

GEORGE: Oh ho! Class, huh? At Columbia? Let me tell you something, pal. I called the registrar's office. I checked you out. They have no record of a Ray Thomas at that school! You liar!

RAY: Well, that's because I'm registered under my full legal name, Raymond Thomas Wochinski. Ray Thomas is my professional name.

GEORGE: You mean alias.

RAY: You are starting to make me angry.

GEORGE: Well, that was bound to happen!

In case anyone is looking to add a Soup Nazi signed ladle to their Top 100 finest collection of signed kitchen utensils extant...

You guys are the reason that "The Marriage Ref" hasn't been canceled yet.

I'll take spot #101, if not called for already!!!!!!

Not to re-hash this thread, but this goes to Bruce:

"You think you're better than me?"

It's funny how many Seinfeldian comments make it in to our daily language. I know I have used "loud talker" and "close talker" as well as "every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in!" :D

I don't think I go one day without using something from that show...sad, I know.

"It's not the size of the opponent...its the ferocity!"

The Net 54 100
 

This website: http://www.collectorsquest.com/colle...ll-memorabilia

has been listed on the web for quite some time. Is this the same Yankeefan51?


IMO - The top five of Seinfeld:

The Chinese Restaurant

The Soup Nazi

The Bubble Boy

The Parking Garage

The Doorman

Attachment 16214

In all fairness, that was a quote from The Godfather III that they appropriated.

How about "The Celibates"? The trophy could be topped with a mirror so all the winners can see is their own reflected glory...

William Shatner: You know, before I answer any more questions there's something I wanted to say. Having received all your letters over the years, and I've spoken to many of you, and some of you have traveled... y'know... hundreds of miles to be here, I'd just like to say... GET A LIFE, will you people? I mean, for crying out loud, it's just baseball cards! I mean, look at you, look at the way you're dressed! You've turned an enjoyable little hobby into a COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME!

[ a crowd of shocked and dismayed Bruces.... ]

I mean, how old are you people? What have you done with yourselves?

[ to "Bruces" ] You, you must be almost 60... have you ever kissed a girl?

[ "Bruces" hangs his head ]

I didn't think so! There's a whole world out there! When I was your age, I didn't collect cards and do nothing else, I LIVED! So... move out of your studio apartment! And try speaking to a real live woman, and GROW THE HELL UP! I mean, it's just baseball cards dammit, IT'S JUST BASEBALL CARDS!

The demise of Exhibit Man
 

Exhibit Man, you have clearly taken one too many boxing punches

We don't appreciate your stupidity or sarcastic comments

Our studio apartment is in fact. a large apartment in one of New York's premiere buildings

Our personal life is none of your business. Our baseball collection is
world class and museum quality.
For us, it is a great deal more than baseball cards

Perhaps they will issue a special exhibit card when you do the world a favor and end it all.. Looking forward to reading about your demise


.

Bruce

Bruce- Adam was doing a parody of an SNL sketch when William Shatner hosted the show. It was originally a spoof on Star Trek, and he just changed the words to baseball cards.

Better than yours
 

Whilst we don't appreciate your pathetic effort at humor, we do want to address the question are we better than you are

Can't compare personal credentials, because we don't know much about you.

As for baseball card collections...ours is world class We wonder if you have ever owned or seen an ultra rare card in a high grade? What museums and exhibits from your collection. Have you ever appeared on CBS evening news to discuss your knowledge of cards...we wonder


Perhaps, you should look in the mirror and answer your questions before posting them. Grow up.

Am I really reading this correctly, Bruce? Are you really rooting for the death of someone on this board because they picked on you?

-Al

Hey Bruce why do you have to be such a F@CKHEAD. Grow the F%ck up and get off this board. I thought I was disliked by some for stupid crap but you take it to a whole new level. Wishing someones demise is a piece of Sh!t move on your half and you should have you A$$ beat for that. Just remember that if you keep acting like that and being a D!CK like you are you will die in your museum with noting but a bunch of blank faces staring at you.

This isn't going to have a happy ending.

Adam, being a lawyer, maybe you can answer me a question as well...is a public death threat on a message board illegal in any way?

Leon, if you are reading this...As much knowledge as Bruce seems to have about cards and memorabilia, I think his time is up. I would very much like to see him censored or banned for comments like this. This is the not first time he has posted disgusting stuff like this (calling for the death of a longtime member here cannot be excused anymore). Other people have been booted for much less. Please take some action on this. His contributions to the hobby are small compared to the chaos he seems to create.

Joshua

Got my Kona coffee, Sunday New York Times, Tennessee-MSU on the tube, Devil Music on the radar rodeo, bitch-slap fest on FiveFour, multi-tasking like crazy and lovin' it. Is this a great country or what?

David- Kona coffee is like $25 a pound in Brooklyn...what does it cost in your neck of the woods?

Has Bruce contributed anything to the hobby? Besides wishing for people to die, I mean.

-Al

Me thinks
 

That Adam could hold his own very well in a battle with the group.

I think it's time for Bruce to pull a Jesse Belvin

Rich

Barry: Supermarket-grade Kona goes for about $12 per pound. Top grade Kona from boutique coffee farms on the Big Island goes for probably $20 or more per pound. The way I slug back coffee I stick with the cheap stuff.

Y'all: Anytime Bruce posts, N54 lights up like it's on fire. This place would be far less entertaining if he didn't drop in once in a while. This isn't exactly some ongoing erudite discussion by SABR scholars sitting at the Round Table of the Algonquin anyway. Like others I wonder if he really is some Mergers & Acquisitions hotshot with an ultra high grade NYC apartment and a museum quality collection or if he's just some defective weirdo. The trick is not to take him seriously. The third person shtick, the busted syntax, the death wishes, it's all like a comedy act as far as I'm concerned. Ban Bruce? That would be like banning the Reverend Jim from Taxi or, heavens forfend, Kramer from Seinfeld. The place just wouldn't be the same. The guy that should be eighty-sixed is that damn kawika. Thinks his shoes don't stink because he lives in Hawaii. That bloody tedious sense of humor, if you can call it that. And always posting that friggin' autographed Lou Gehrig Goudey. Make a maggot gag. There's a guy I can't stand.

I may hold the record for death threats received from one or more of the Bruces and I might add, one of the first to receive one back in May 2006. I beat out Brian Daniels by a matter of hours.

Some that come to mind and have been memorialized in emails are:

Hoping I die from cancer one cell at a time.
Burning in numerous fires alone, with my family, at my home and office.
On 3 different occasions he told me that he was sending someone over to my home or office.
On more than one occasion he has wished that me and my friends die a slow and painful death (but did not specify by what means).
Too many times to count he has wished me and my family suffer greatly.
He was looking forward to reading my obituary.
Though a little less permanent he told me he would use mace on me when he saw me.

It's all in good fun. I know he did not mean any of it. He just likes to joke around like that.

Kawika has been observed at an erudite discussion of SABR scholars, as is evidenced by this photo. He's the one on the left, eating Canadian hot dogs.

OK. Let's go with defective weirdo.

disagree
 

Hi Joshua
I would politely disagree about others getting booted for much less. Quite to the contrary, it is very difficult to get banned and I really don't want to go into the specifics of each, of the less than a handful of folks, that have been banned. There certainly hasn't been anyone banned on the new board (for the last year) that has contributed as much as the Brucii have. BTW, Frank W was reinstated within a day......so he can post whenever he chooses to again. Let me speak with the other mods about this situation. I think it bears repeating but I am very, very slow to ban someone for retaliation that is more harsh than what was thrown at them to start with. My reasoning, right or wrong, is that if someone didn't pick a fight then there would be nothing to debate (pertaining to banning). Now, that being said...we do have a community and there are rules. best regards

ps...also, just think if they were banned a yr ago. We wouldn't have the funniest quote in 10 yrs on the board to continue to remember.

Hi,
I had an account on the old forum, and stopped visiting about 2 years ago for several reasons.

One of them was the bs spewed by Dorskind, and receiving one of his quaint little e-mails. This, along with the political discussions that are now confined elsewhere, and some of the cliqueness on this board, made it not worth reading at all, for me.

In the two years, I see that some things have changed, for the better, and some things never will.

Dorskind has been trolling this board for years, and should be banned. If he had just joined as a new collector, and started making threats to board members, his banning would be almost immediate. Being a known quantity should never excuse one's behavior or intent.

I was hoping for a better and more on topic first new post; oh well.

FWIW, that's my two cents as a former member, and someone who just started reading again. If you think people are not going to be turned off who visit this board for the first time, and get assaulted by his venom, think again.

In my business when my cross-exam draws an overwrought defensive response like that I know I've hit a raw nerve. I guess we all know where Bruce's armor has its cracks now.

Brucie boy, I'd guess that one of my articles in VCBC or Old Cardboard has brought more benefit to this hobby than all of your bigoted, bb-brained, elitist rants combined. Only a balloon-thin ego resting on a foundation of insecurities and a lifetime of interpersonal failures could respond as you do to a little good-natured ribbing. Shatner's suggestion that Trekkers get a life goes double for you. I have a home like many others here, filled with family and friends, the laughter of children, the warmth and comfort of others I love and who love me at the end of the day. I'll gather with my extended family tomorrow evening for the first night of Passover and enjoy an experience you will sadly never have: a normal human life.

Tonight, after the lights are out, when the cards are put away and you climb into your lonely, cold bed, remember that no matter what cards you acquire, no matter how many posts you make here, no matter how many people you insult or threaten over the internet, you do not matter to anyone in the world. If you were to drop dead in your apartment tonight whilst masturbating over the latest card you acquired (or perhaps just the latest issue of "Big 'Uns", or "Stud" or whatever else squeezes your lemon), odds are that no one would know, care or find out until the rotting smell offended your neighbors.

Now, if you'd like to make a death threat to my face instead of on a computer, I will be in NYC this summer and at the National too (as I have been every year since 2004) and we can meet up and "talk" it over. No? That's what I figured. See, Brucie, we are all on to you here. There are two kinds of guys, Brucie, there are those with big brave balls, and those with little mincey balls. Guys with big, brave balls don't spout inane threats from internet chat rooms; they live in the real world. They show up at the National, for example, and talk face to face with the people they call out. But that's not you, no siree. Lob your threats from your co-op, mincey balls...we know the score.

Adam

When our time comes, we are more than certain that there will be a group of people that care by our side

Whilst we have never heard of the magazines you reference, we wonder if your obsession with masturbation emanates from the fact that you can't satisfy your wife or that she is sick and tired of you.

Your vile commentary is shameful at best. We will be in Baltimore. If you want to confront us, so be it. You will pay the price, big time

Organ harvesters don't count.

Really? Gotta call BS on this one. Look up the web page and click on the Old Cardboard banner.

Unlike your bigoted, threatening spew?

Oooh, I'm scared. You gonna bring the whole "Group" or just your bad self?

Is it time to pull the plug on this?

You would be referring to the landlord, fire department and coroner and they do not "care". They are simply doing their job. Nobody will know you passed until someone in the building reports an odor more foul than usual coming from behind your door.

I just hope that when I die, one of the last things I'm remembered for is my baseball card collection.

I'd much prefer being remembered as someone who was a family man, a guy who enjoyed life, and someone who served my country with pride.

Well Bill you and Bruce apparently do not have much in common. Good for you. Bruce would not be able to relate to those things which most of us value. He wrote as much on a thread not too long ago.

As suggested, Adam handles himself quite well.

Of course I knew that he would.
